President Obama's BRAIN Initiative (BRAIN; Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies) is directed at supporting projects that seek to advance understanding of normal brain function. A workshop to identify areas where faculty and students from primarily undergraduate institutions (PUI) can make unique contributions to the BRAIN Initiative will be held on October 14-17, 2015 in Chicago, IL. The central goal of the workshop is to enhance PUI involvement in the research challenges described in the Brain Initiative. Consonant with advancing the goals of the BRAIN Initiative, the workshop will focus on developing ways to further NSF's mission to prepare a scientifically literate workforce.A diverse group of twenty-four researchers from PUIs throughout the United States will be invited to participate in discussions of research, neurotechnology, computational approaches, and interdisciplinary training of undergraduates. The workshop will be held in Chicago, Illinois 3 days before the annual Society for Neuroscience (SFN) conference, also scheduled to be held in Chicago. Workshop participants will produce a report of their discussions, conclusions and recommendations aimed at increasing the participation of PUI faculty and their undergraduate research students in the BRAIN Initiative. The report will be made available to the public on the NSF website (http://www.nsf.gov/bio/pubs/reports/index.jsp ), and distributed to the scientific community through the Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience website (http://www.funfaculty.org/drupal/ ). The workshop outcomes will also be compiled into a self-running presentation for dissemination at local PUI consortia, academic conferences, and national meetings. It is anticipated that outcomes of the discussion at the workshop will be disseminated through conversations with researchers attending the SFN annual meeting.

奥巴马总统的BRAIN倡议（BRAIN;通过推进创新神经技术进行大脑研究）旨在支持寻求促进对正常大脑功能理解的项目。 一个研讨会，以确定教师和学生从主要的本科院校（PUI）可以作出独特的贡献，脑倡议领域将于2015年10月14日至17日在芝加哥，IL。研讨会的中心目标是加强PUI参与大脑倡议中描述的研究挑战。与推进BRAIN计划的目标相一致，研讨会将集中于开发方法，以进一步推动NSF的使命，准备一个科学素养的workforce.A来自PUI的24名研究人员在整个美国将被邀请参加研究，神经技术，计算方法和本科生的跨学科培训的讨论。 研讨会将在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行，为期3天的年度神经科学学会（SFN）会议前，也计划在芝加哥举行。 研讨会的参与者将产生他们的讨论，结论和建议，旨在增加PUI教师和他们的本科研究生在大脑倡议的参与报告。 该报告将在NSF网站（http：//www.example.com）上向公众提供，并通过本科神经科学学院网站（http：//www.example.com）分发给科学界。www.funfaculty.org/drupal/www.nsf.gov/bio/pubs/reports/index.jsp研讨会的成果还将汇编成一个自我运行的演示文稿，在当地的PUI财团，学术会议和国家会议上传播。 预计研讨会的讨论结果将通过与出席森林论坛年会的研究人员的对话传播。
